2015 Player Review - # 39 Neville Jetta

Jetta did not have as good a year as his break out season in 2014 and he missed a few games through niggling injuries but still produced some excellent performances as a small defender with good ball skills

    Still our best small defender by some margin. Recruiting Bugg would be important to help give Nev some support.

    I love the way Nev plays. Not the most talented player going around, but his effort and will to succeed are undeniable. He had a solid season in 2015, dulled a bit by head knocks and concussion injuries. He seems vulnerable in this area, which is a bit of a worry going forward.

    Pretty ordinary year for the most part I thought. Injuries / concessions early in the season didn't help, but he was just a shadow of his 2014 self. I'd like to see him take the game on a bit more rather than just going for the easy, short kick all the time.

    What a gutsy guy.

    Not the most talented, but when Roos showed him faith and challenged him in 2014 he totally turned his career around. A fine example that sadly too few bother to emulate.

    Fell away a little 2015 but still never gave in.

    I am not sure how to avoid the concussions as he will not shirk: just hope he can fully recover and return to his best n 2016 and beyond.

    Nev is one player that never lets us down. He doesn't always win each battle but he always tries and I admire him for his effort and consistency.

    Reminds me of Whelan, you know what you are going to get and that is someone giving their all every week.

    Would graduate to legend if he could do a 'hird' on Heppell !! :)

    He beats the best small forward consistently - that is just gold.

    And the worst thing I have seen in 2015 for this club is when Nev got hit on the head (again) and we, and the media, gave it to him for 'staying down while the game was still going on'...

    What an effing disgrace...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
